Luo Shiyi's disappointment was natural. He had been cultivating for more than a thousand years and had barely reached the peak of the Immortal Level. He was still far away from breaking through to the Immortal Level. Originally, with his cultivation base, he could be considered the top among the disciples. Among the eight thousand disciples who stayed for a long time, there were less than a hundred who truly became immortals. Many of them were still in the ascension period and it was difficult for them to enter the immortal path.
However, the pride in his heart was completely shattered by Ling Xiao. He felt that a thousand years of cultivation was a joke. This was a sign of Qi deviation. Now that Ling Xiao was a Shangxian, his eyesight was much better than before. He could tell at a glance that Luo Shiyi was showing signs of Qi deviation. Coincidentally, he still had Hua Qiangu's divine blood on him. Luo Shiyi had treated him well back then, so he was prepared to help him break through and resolve his inner demons.
However, although Luo Shiyi had accepted Ling Xiao's divine blood, there was a faint sense of respect and distance in his tone.
It was only then that Ling Xiao understood what a Shangxian was. Exalted Immortals were not only at the pinnacle of the Immortal Realm, but they also had to bear the loneliness that ordinary Immortals could not bear.
"Senior Brother, why are we so distant?”"No matter what I do, I'm still the little junior brother you taught me back then." Ling Xiao sighed.”
Luo Shiyi's heart warmed. He knew that Ling Xiao still remembered their friendship. However, Moyan had taught him many years of etiquette and the difference between Shangxian and other immortals. Thus, Luo Shiyi had always believed that etiquette could not be abandoned.
"Junior brother, you are now a Shangxian, so I naturally have to show you enough respect.”"Courtesy cannot be abandoned," Luo Shiyi said seriously.”
"In that case, forget it." Ling Xiao nodded. He knew that Luo Shiyi's personality was not something that could be changed overnight.
Seeing that Ling Xiao was already a Shangxian, yet he could still talk to Luo Shiyi with a normal attitude, and Luo Shiyi had shown enough respect, Moyan was very happy. He stroked his beard and said with a smile,""Xiao 'er, originally, we had to hold a ceremony for you to become the Changliu Swordmaster. However, this is an eventful time. I think we should recruit disciples first. The ceremony will be held together with the Immortal Sword Conference. Since you are already a Shangxian, you don't have to be a guard of the disciple recruitment meeting.”
Moyan's last sentence was in a questioning tone. Even though Ling Xiao respected him, he was still a Shangxian after all. He couldn't always use his identity as a master to oppress him.
"I will let Master decide." Ling Xiao bowed." Master, I've just become a Shangxian. I still need to comprehend and stabilize my realm. I'll return to the Greed Hall first."”
"You are already the fourth venerable one to stay here. I will build another palace for you to live in.”" Before the palace was built, you lived in the Hall of Greed," Moyan said." Right, what name do you want to give your palace?"”
Ling Xiao smiled." I don't cultivate the Great Oblivion, nor do I seek the Four Nine Heavenly Daos. I only want to intercept the thread of life in the Great Dao and seek freedom." That palace shall be called the Unfettered Palace."
"What a great Freedom Palace!" Sheng Xiaomo put away his folding fan and praised,"The path of immortal cultivation is exactly the name of our four halls. The ultimate goal is to be carefree."”
"Mn, then let's call it the Freedom Hall." Moyan nodded, and Ling Xiao immediately bade farewell and returned to the Greed Hall.
Just as Moyan was about to go back, he looked away and saw Ling Xiao and Hua Qiangu walking in while chatting and laughing outside the Greed Hall. "If you indulge in the tribulation of love, you will suffer the consequences sooner or later."”
Sheng Xiaomo smiled." Senior Brother, everyone has their own path. Ling Xiao was deeply in love, but he was still able to become an immortal. Doesn't this prove that immortal cultivation can also not rely on the Great Oblivion?"”
"Why did you learn his tone?”Moyan rolled his eyes at Sheng Xiaomo and said," Xiao 'er was able to avoid the Love Tribulation because of his excellent aptitude. Secondly, he didn't know how difficult it was to cultivate because of the short amount of time he had. Zihua, since you are in charge of the Heartless Palace, I will need you to guide Xiao 'er in the future.”Because of his son Zhuran's and his own experiences, Moyan viewed the word 'love' as a venomous snake or scorpion. Therefore, he also prevented the people around him from being tainted by the word 'love'.
Although Bai Zihua was in charge of the Hall of Unrequited Love, he was also puzzled by the word 'love.' Exalted Immortal Zixun's thousand-year pursuit of love had made him confused about the word 'love'. If he were to guide Ling Xiao, he would probably be influenced by Ling Xiao instead.
"Zihua will remember what senior brother said. Alright, you can go back first.”Bai Zihua said to Luo Shiyi,"Shiyi, send your disciples to spread the news in the human world." At this time, the human world was divided and there were countries everywhere. There would be many people who were sincere about the Dao.”Luo Shiyi nodded.
"Oh, right, Zihua, some time ago, the King of the Western Shu Kingdom sent a message saying that he wanted to send his second prince to Changliu.”Moyan suddenly thought of this and asked.
Bai Zihua pondered for a moment and said," Xishu Nation is in the prime of its life. There's no harm in taking in his second prince now. Senior Brother, you can make the decision."”
Moyan nodded, and the four of them left the sky above the Greed Palace.
After Ling Xiao and Hua Qiangu entered the Hall of Greed, they did not stabilize their realms as they had said before. His cultivation realm had long been stabilized in the sea of laws. Saying that was just a pretense.
Because the atmosphere was too awkward, Luo Shiyi, who was originally on good terms with him, suddenly distanced himself from him because he had become a Shangxian. This made Ling Xiao sigh.
Coincidentally, Hua Qiangu had picked many immortal fruits and spiritual herbs. Ling Xiao took out the immortal cauldron he had gotten from Exalted Immortal Zixun and prepared to brew a new type of wine, one that was definitely different from the Hundred Flowers Wine.
Hua Qiangu had never seen how to make wine, so he was very interested. The two of them were not ordinary people. After a busy night, they finally refined the original pulp of the new wine. After being distilled, they would be able to taste it after being buried in the soil for a few days.
Luo Shiyi arrived just as he buried the jug of new wine in the ground. Ling Xiao asked Hua Qiangu to make tea while he sat opposite Luo Shiyi, looking at each other.
"Sword Saint, I am here to…" Just as Luo Shiyi was about to speak, Ling Xiao waved his hand and said unhappily,""If you keep distancing yourself from me, please leave.”
" I…" Luo Shiyi sighed." Junior Brother, why are you making things difficult for me?”
"Senior brother, isn't identity something that immortals like us don't care about? No matter how powerful I am, am I not still your junior brother?”Ling Xiao said," It's fine to pretend in front of Master. There's only you and me here. Why should we be restricted by worldly etiquette?" I only have one thing to say. No matter what, I'm still your junior brother from seventeen years ago.”
Luo Shiyi's eyes reddened,""It's my fault, I shouldn't have."
"That's right. It should have been like this earlier.”"Senior Brother, I hope that the two swordsmen of Changliu are still here."”
Luo Shiyi, the Two Swordsmen of Changliu, muttered to himself and laughed,"" I'm a swordsman, and you're a slut." There was no longer any distance between his eyebrows.
"Senior brother, since you've thought it through, let's begin.”"Let's go to the cultivation room," Ling Xiao said.”
"Yes!"
